Description
Abstract
Background: Syzygium aromaticum commonly known as Clove may be looked upon as a champion of all the spices. It has been used for centuries as one of the most important spices. Clove belonging to family Myrtaceae originates from Indonesia. It possesses many medicinal properties along with many other beneficial uses. Clove calyx and clove ball are the main parts to be considered for study in this article. Clove is rich in many phytochemicals like hydrocarbon, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and phenolic compounds. Eugenyl acetate, eugenol, and β-caryophyllene are the most significant phytochemicals in clove oil. Aim: This study aimed at identifying chemical compounds in the clove calyx and clove ball and indicated their biological activities in the treatment of many maladies. In the present work, efforts were made to juxtapose and scientifically validate the results of the concentration of various chemical components in clove ball and calyx to check the presence of main component. Setting: Sample material clove was collected from local market in Malviya Nagar, Jaipur. The sample was authenticated and was provided with identification number and submitted the sample to Ethno-medicinal Herbarium, Centre with Potentials for Excellence in Biotechnology funded by DST, to JECRC, Jaipur, India. Methods: Analysis of biochemical components in clove ball and calyx was conducted by using GC-MS (Gas chromatography – Mass spectrometer) technique. Compounds were identified based on NIST database (National Institute Standard and Technology). Results: Major classes of compounds found in clove ball are Methyl salicylate, Caryophyllene, Ascorbic acid derivative, Anethole. While in clove calyx Eugenol, chemical was found. Eugenol is the main and essential component in clove. Conclusion: Eugenol is present in clove calyx and absent in clove ball. So, calyx is the part which should be used and not the ball part. Eugenol, being the most essential constituent in the clove, is used as an antiseptic, analgesic, perfumery and as a flavoring agent.
